NYM.NYM (karma: 1)
I just joined and saw this post so want to help because I know other people will be looking at it too.
when I originally bought smart Suite 20 years ago right off the bat, I was thinking way way ahead in case I needed to do this, I decided to dabble with it and I just renamed a lot of my (copies of copies) lwp and bak sam to.txt.
I very well knew all of the text-based documents out there of which and lwp sam and bak are ALL
just text based .
easy peasy you can do batches of them if you have a great free renamer.
:::::::important:::::::::: do not simply tack on the. Txt extension to the document extension .....you need to REPLACE the extension with. Txt
open with notepad or viewer of your choice.
you will see all text and date and fonts you used.
images are not there of course. disregard the programming areas.
have used it on winxp win7 win2000.

Of course, any contribution of interested parties in the field of support of external formats is welcome by the Document Liberation Project (one of TDF projects, used in LibreOffice and other FLOSS).
Just for fun, try replacing the .SAM extension with .lwp Lotus bought Ami Pro and turned it into Lotus Word Pro. They may have kept the format the same for the file and just changed the extension. A long shot, but might work.
Changing the file extention won't work. The file formats are different.
